Richard Reeves starred in so many shows in his career, but we know very little about him. It states in IMDB that he died of cirrosis of the liver. Does anyone know more information about this fine actor? Did he have a family? Was he an alcoholic? What was he like socially?
shareSucks that the writers killed him 30 seconds before the rescue too. And they made him look kind of like a coward running up a ladder even though he was really the hero who saved the other couple! He got zero respect, he was my favorite of the film when I watched it as a kid!
